Hi Chuter,

The file is showing 0kg so there is no content  :-\ I would give it a try again take your original image and crop the part again and save as a different title.

Sarah :)

Can you not just give us her name and location?

Reeler, reel mill hand; aka hank winder, skeiner, skein winder, swift piecer; minds a reeling machine, which winds spun yarn from bobbins on to reels in form of skiens or hanks.
Plush; . A rich fabric of silk, cotton, wool, or other material (or any of these combined), with a long soft nap, used esp. for upholstery, servants' livery, etc.

thank you all for your help most grateful.

in some ancestry info they have Elizabeth down as a reeler, and a reader in another.
i realise that the person taking the census may have the wrong info from the
person or persons in the census, or that it has been misinterpreted between the
two parties Never the less i do believe there is a silk reader. This i believe relates to a
person tasked with setting the patten for the machines to weave, and could have been
as simple as setting a perforated card into or onto a rotating drum.

The 1911 census form was filled in by her father, so he would know what she did for a living. She was a silk winder in 1901.
